Jesús Soto in conversation with/en conversación con Ariel Jiménez, is the fourth title in the CONVERSACIONES/CONVERSATIONS series. The 198-page book presents dialogues between the renowned Venezuelan kinetic artist Jesús Soto (1923–2005), and art historian and FC/CPPC Chief Curator, Ariel Jiménez. Based on Conversaciones con Jesus Soto, originally published by the Fundación Cisneros in 2001 and 2005, this book has been expanded and revised and is now being published in Spanish and English. It also includes illustrations of key artworks by the artist.

Consisting of over nine years of interviews, the conversations provide a unique insight into Jesús Soto’s fascinating career. Distinguished for his involvement in the development of kinetic art in Paris in the 1950s and 60s, and his subsequent work in the geometric abstract movements in Venezuela, Soto is recognized today as one of the most important Latin American artists of the century.
